'Electric Slide-ing" down the slippery DMCA slope

I can't believe this guy, he created a dance everyone likes but doesn't want anyone actually doing it to have fun. Or at least not video taping it so you can remember the fun event.

I agree that if "The Electric Slide" is used in a movie he should have to approve it and maybe get paid for it, but suing people doing it in their wedding videos... the guy is nuts.

I also brings up the question of how LONG copyright should last. This dance is so old and so much a part of our culture that it should be public domain my now.
